Lowrance/Eagle
When Lowrance/Eagle Upload/Download is selected, a window is displayed that allows you to initialize
communications with the GPS, get product information, and upload/download waypoints, routes, plot trails, and icons.
The icons and waypoints can be downloaded as standard data files, the routes as trip plans, and the plot trails as tracks.
In the GPS, icons are waypoints that you have saved as icons as opposed to waypoints. Some other brands might call
these Marks.
The first step in connecting with the GPS is setting the port and communications speed. Be sure that the data cable is
connected and the GPS is set into the right mode. It may be necessary to turn off NMEA output, disconnect any
differential receiver and turn off DGPS activity. Write down the original configuration and settings so that you can
restore them later.
Go to the GPS's System Setup screen and set the Com settings to 19200 baud, 8 bits, and no parity. Then, from the
Upload/Download window, set the COM port to the PC serial port that you have connected the data cable to and set the
baud rate to 19200. Note; if a rate of 19200 does not work, try lower settings at both ends.
Push the Initialize button and the program should connect (as shown by the word "Initialized" on the Status line) and the
product ID should be displayed. At this point, you are in control. If you close this window, you have to reinitialize the
connection to the GPS if you again open it.
